Guess Who Loves You – Handprint Owl Keepsake

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and with this “Guess Who Loves You” Handprint Owl keepsake idea, you and your child are REALLY going to impress a lucky Valentine receiver with it!!!

Super simple to make and awesome to keep forever {’cause clearly this handmade piece is a real winner in the books!} You can even customize with your favorite colors and saying.

So what are you waiting for?! Let’s have a HOOT and craft up some one-of-a-kind canvases with our children today!

Be sure to share a picture of your child’s finished masterpiece on Instagram with the hashtag #gluedtomycrafts or show it off on my Facebook page for all to see!!! I love seeing our inspiration come to life and I hope we inspired you today!

Directions:

* Squirt all your paint colors on the paper plate.
* Now paint the body of your owl in the center of your canvas. You can either freestyle it or look up a template online. This first step will make it easier to add your child’s handprints to the craft.
* Next add your child’s handprints. One on each side of the owl’s body with the fingertips going OUT. This is done by painting your child’s hands and having them press them on the canvas.
* Let the paint dry completely and use baby wipes to remove the remaining paint off your child’s hands.
* Now you are ready for the remaining owl features. Grab some paint brushes and paint & add features like a beak, eyes and feet to the owl.
* If desired, paint a branch & leaves for the owl to sit on.
* To finish off the Handprint Owl canvas – place your stickers on the canvas. You can do sayings like “Who Loves You? Me!” or “You Are Whoo-tastic!”
* Add a layer of Mod Podge on top of the stickers, to seal it all in and make sure it lasts forever!
* Then display and/or gift away to the lucky receiver!!!
